Project Description
As Flagship Pioneering’s sole vendor for project management services, LeftField has hired as the tenant’s OPM for One Charles Park, a 413,000 SF lab-and-office building, which was converted specifically for six separate tenants in the heart of Cambridge’s life sciences community.
The footprint for each of the six floors is nearly identical, on average offering 79,000 SF of space. Despite these similarities, the execution of each suite’s layout and programming is unique to the occupying tenant’s needs. Each further delineated by the careful selection of furniture, materials, and finishes that speak to the brand’s mission, vision, and personality.
What they do share, however, are the sightlines that carry through from lobbies, to labs, to group and independent workspace before culminating at a fully-accessible wraparound balcony peering out over Cambridge, Somerville, and Boston skylines. The program along the perimeter of the building was laid out strategically to allow natural daylight to flow throughout the building. Conference rooms, touchdown zones, phone booths, and private offices hug internal walls to take advantage of the natural light pouring in from the perimeter. In conjunction with glass partitions, this also further empowers ‘science on display.’
